Hi, y’all! I haven’t been updating the blog on my personal website since the start of the year, mea culpa. Thank you to all the readers who enjoyed my weekly, then monthly, round-up of interesting links I came across on the interwebs. I really appreciated your support!

However, I do not plan on regularly updating the blog portion of this website, so I have renamed it “Blog Archive.” I have also created a new home page and updated the other pages on this personal website.

I am still keeping busy with blogging, so please check out my other websites and blogs on my Web Projects page.

Getting my November round-up of interesting things on the interwebs posted on said interwebs juuuuuuuuust under the wire… I highly recommend enjoying the following while also enjoying the remainder of your Thanksgiving leftovers. 😉

“There is no such thing as “failing” the Knowledge. You can either quit, or persevere and pass.”

“It is tempting to interpret the Knowledge as a uniquely British institution… But the Knowledge is less a product of the English character than of the torturous London landscape. To be in London is, at least half the time, to have no idea where the hell you are.”

“The brains of London taxi drivers have attracted scholarly attention. Eleanor Maguire, a neuroscientist at University College London, has spent 15 years studying cabbies and Knowledge boys… Maguire’s work demonstrates that the brain is capable of structural change even in adulthood.”

Also, how COOL is it to keep saying, “The Knowledge of London” — you feel so, well, knowledgeable. 😉

I have been wondering lately about this personal corner of the interwebs and if these monthly recaps of interesting things I’ve come across online help brighten anyone else’s corner. And just today, I learned about an enthusiastic new reader, and it just made my day. 😀

♥ … if you’re one for Halloween costumes, then you will probably find this piece about the secret histories of 5 famous Hollywood costumes quite intriguing. If nothing else, read the entry about Dorothy’s homespun pinafore from The Wizard of Oz (1939) — amazing backstory!
